Antonov seemed to be deliberately trying to make his words heard by everyone, so he spoke loudly. And his purpose has indeed been achieved. Chuck, who was in Drington to greet warmly and express his gratitude. McDougall's face turned red. The Platinum Centurion was so carried away by this reversal victory that he could only go up to meet the vanguard cavalry of the Wintertalon Legion, and forgot about Gordon and the others, who had fought side by side with him in the first place.
The team was small in number, but it had dozens of elite warriors, as well as more than ten mages and priests, and a mage who could summon the Iron Giants and had a close relationship with Archduke Antelo. Their origins are by no means simple.
Chuck was nothing more than a typical Ferreton mid-level officer who had risen to his current position by virtue of his military merits and qualifications, and he regretted it when he thought that his unintentional negligence might offend a group of "key people" of unknown origin. He was well aware of the bureaucracy in the military. Originally, today's Dasheng could add a strong stroke to his seniority book, and it was not even impossible for him to be promoted to a commander for meritorious service, but if he was put in small shoes and erased his military exploits because he was stupid for a while, it would be really regrettable.
Riding on a war horse, Drington observed Chuck from a downward stance, and when he saw the other party's hesitant expression, a feeling of disgust arose in his heart.
"This lowly civilian officer! If it weren't for the heroic Wintertalon Cavalry and the four noble golden dragons who appeared together to repel the orcs and save the Fortress of Sevato, would you still be standing here and talking to me? β
Drington didn't know what had happened to Fortress Sevatore before he arrived. In his knowledge, only the Wintertalon Cavalry Regiment had wiped out four times the number of wolf cavalry with a brave and fearless charge. Coupled with the four golden dragons that fell from the sky, they repelled the orc invasion of the Fortress and temporarily maintained the entire defense line of the Great Wall of Anduin.
This hearty victory swept away the depression that Drington had felt all winter, and made him full of vigor and pride. But the damned, lowly, vulgar big man in the distance ruined the moment he was supposed to enjoy cheering and worshipping.
Drington didn't speak. Just smiled and took off his helmet. The handsome appearance and the distinctive silver hair made the surrounding defenders of the fortress who had been rolling in the stones and dirt for a day couldn't help but exclaim.
The man from the Eisenstein family did not speak, did not even show a trace of dissatisfaction, and looked as perfect as a true ancient knight.
He just glanced at the flag bearer beside him.
Flag bearers in the army. is a position no less important than that of a commander. The banner of an army is the soul of its army. Where the morale is. It guides the way forward in battle. Naturally, Drington would not allow such an important position to be filled by an outsider. The flag bearer of the cavalry regiment is the son of a certain subordinate nobleman of the Eisenstein family, who grew up with Drington and serves as his knightly servant, and is an absolute confidant.
The flag bearer, Al Hoka, immediately understood what Drington meant.
Drington was always a personable knight with noble sentiments. And El Hoka. then he is responsible for being the wicked. Two people play such a role one by one, and this time is no exception.
"Chuck Centurion, our warriors of the Winterpaw Legion are exhausted after a great battle. Many more wounded need to be treated. I hope you can help. Of course, given the current state of the fortress, we won't ask too much, you just need to do your best. β
"Of course, I will do my best to satisfy the heroes who saved the fortress of Sevato...... "Chuck said, "Please wait a moment, knights, and I will call the logistician at once." The cellar in the southwest corner of the fortress where the ales and cured meats were stored luckily survived the earthquake, and I'll treat the soldiers of the Wintertalon Legion to a drink later. β
After Chuck made arrangements, he went to find Gordon and the others. He hoped that both sides would not be offended, so he was ready to appease the grumbling Antonov. Being able to manage a huge border fortress is not just about leading troops to fight, but also an extremely important ability to handle interpersonal relationships.
Who knew that the centurion was about to leave, but was stopped by Al Hoka: "I think you misunderstood something, centurion. I want you to entertain us in person, and not just a junior officer. This is a sign of respect for the legions directly under the Emperor's Majesty. Also, those injured lads can't wait, and I want you to arrange it for us immediately, right away, now. As for the rest of the inconsequential ones, you can wait a little longer......"
Looking at the arrogant eyes of Al Hoka on the horse, Chuck felt a wave of unhappiness in his heart. He could finally see that these Winterclaw Legion guys were competing with Gordon and the others.
In the centurion's opinion, whether it was Gordon. Freeman is still Drington. Feng. Eisenstein, before today, he didn't know him. Both sides are heroes who have contributed to the defense of the fortress, and now after the battle, can't they get along and drink a glass of victory?
Compared with Gordon and his party, who have a mysterious identity and act in a low-key manner, Captain Chuck, who was born in the local border guards, has not had much affection for the Winter Claw Legion, who always relies on his royal status and is high-spirited. Now for the sake of fighting side by side, he greeted him with a smile, and even snubbed the heroes who had killed the two cyclops in the first place to save the fortress. But the knights of the Winter Claw Legion didn't appreciate it, and pressed forward step by step.
Chuck's current soldiers, who were originally welcomed in the lane, had already restrained their smiles at this time, and looked at the Winterclaw cavalry who had entered the fortress with a complicated expression. He knew that if he really agreed to Elhoka's troubles, not only would he completely offend Gordon's side, but he would even be looked down upon by his subordinates.
So Chuck gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Mr. Knights, I think my logistics officer can perfectly meet your needs. I have other things to do, and I'm leaving. β
Drington's flag bearer sneered, suddenly took out the whip from his waist, and shook it into the air.
Syllable!
A crisp sound resounded through the fortress.
"Centurion. Our Winter Claw Legion is the sharpest sword in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, and the strongest shield to protect the Far Frost Province. Now, you have fought so recklessly with the orcs to save the brave knights of the fortress. This is a great insult, and it is a blasphemy against the faith of the Platinum Dragon! β
Chuck felt so angry that his face turned red. As a civilian officer, he hated the righteousness of those nobles who opened their mouths and closed their mouths as "emperor" and "dragon god", and casually buttoned hats to those who did not agree with him. What's more, the other party's act of pulling out the whip is simply treating himself as a slave who can be threatened and reprimanded at will.
"Phew!" Chuck spat out a mouthful of phlegm that slammed into the ornate armor of Al Hoka's mount, "Don't shut up that clichΓ©. Originally, Lao Tzu saw that you were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, and they repelled the orc attack together, so he was polite. Who knew you wouldn't appreciate it. Do you really think it's great to repel a pack of wolf cavalry? If it weren't for Gordon. Mr. Freeman had previously killed two cyclops, if not for the four golden dragons that had fallen from the sky. Do you Winterclaw Legion monkeys really think that you alone can scare off an army of tens of thousands of orcs? What a skill, go and take off the head of the orc warlord! β
Chuck's scolding was extremely relieved, and the onlookers applauded, and some even gave thumbs up to the Wintertalon cavalry to get out of the fortress.
Although El Hoka is humble and loyal in front of Drington, he has a different face in front of civilians who are lower than his status. He looked at the piercing phlegm marks on the armor of his mount, and listened to the piercing boos around him, and the anger in his heart burned more and more, rushing straight to his head.
The flag bearer didn't think about it, and as soon as he raised the whip in his hand, he was going to teach the daring centurion a lesson.
Al Hoka and Chuck were both level 8 warriors, but one of them was recuperated and easily defeated the wolf cavalry. The other fought for a long time to defend the fortress, and was covered in wounds and exhausted.
Seeing that the black whip was about to be printed on his face but he didn't have time to dodge, Chuck was anxious and angry. If you are really whipped with a whip, you may not be severely injured, but this humiliation of being whipped in public is definitely difficult to let go of for a long time.
At this moment, several teardrop-shaped energy projectiles that shimmered with silver brilliance roared, and one of them accurately blew the whip in Elhoka's hand in two.
The flag bearer did not expect this sudden spell attack, and panicked in his heart, and did not hold the banner of the cavalry. As a result, the remaining magic missiles hit the flagpole in his hand one after another.
Click...... Click......
In full view of everyone, the military banner representing the vanguard cavalry of the Winter Claw Legion broke and fell to the ground. The white and majestic flying eagle on the banner was suddenly covered in dust and sludge.
"Gordon. Freeman! Drington looked at the black mage who was walking slowly from a distance, and he forgot to hide his feelings, and there was a cold hatred in his eyes.
In fact, just now Chuck said "Gordon. "Freeman" name, and Derlington felt something was wrong. Originally, he just wanted to embarrass Antonov a little, and did not want to escalate the situation. Who knew that Al Hoka actually wanted to make a move, and before he could stop it, Gordon struck first.
"Chuck. McDougall! How did you, a lowly civilian officer, discipline your subordinate field mages? How dare you break the banner of the Winterclaw Legion! You will pay the price, and you will all be put to death! Al Hoka shouted frantically. (To be continued......)
